Ok ok ok.... so the pressure is the same, nothing to do with the pressure because its the same for each boat at the same depth, and its not about the size either, or surface for the pressure to work on. But its about the supporting structure inside all of the surface plating. Lets call it "the sub sceleton".... The gato needs a stronger and alot heavier sceleton to face the pressure than a type-VII. If the size is twise it may need twise the number of framework to stand the same depth i dont know.
The basic question was whats the difference between the two subs, witch after all the reading ive done in this thread (BTW, thanks for all the input) i guess it narrows down to structure, construction and building techniqs.

Please continue with all stuff you can find.

Thanks
